The Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 274: The chief leader of Nadam

Views:

Xilin City is a small city with a circumference of only twelve miles, located on the east side of Third Avenue.

The city wall has been completed. The bottom of the city wall is made of stones and soil above it. Because of the hurried construction, the city wall under design is only two steps high, which is three meters for later generations.

In Zhu Youjian's original plan, the eastern half of the city was used as a military camp, and the army stationed in Daming was divided into the western half of the city near the Third Avenue.

The Beicheng District will be a residential area. People who graze and farm outside the city can return to live in the city at night. The future government will also be in this area; while the Nancheng District will be a commercial area, where the material exchange between Daming and Horqin will be Place.

There is no time to build residential buildings in the city, no herdsmen from Horqin have settled in the city, and there is no population. Zhu Youjian still has no signs of the city, and the Nadam Conference is not held here either.

The Naadam Conference was still held in the old place, outside the west city of Don Harik.

Horqin has undergone many "reductions" and the gender ratio in the population is severely unbalanced. There are only 80,000 males, including a large number of elderly and children, while the number of women exceeds 150,000, almost twice that of men.

Among the 80,000 males, the young males who are the protagonists of Naadamu, but several thousand, compared with the tens of thousands of young girls, they are too expensive.

Most of the soldiers of the Tenth Division stationed in Xilin were young men, and they were also invited by the Horqin people.

However, the 10th Division must pay close attention to the construction of Xilin City. After the construction of the city wall is completed, military camps and residential buildings will be built in the city. The division commander Zhao Qi sent only one regiment of soldiers to participate in the Naadam Conference.

When Zhu Youjian came to Xilin, he heard that the army was invited to participate in the Naadam Conference. On a whim, he changed his name to Wang Xin again, took Fu Xiaojian and other guards, and secretly went outside the city of Tangharik.

Bu Mu Butai also dressed up as a soldier of the Ming army, tailed by Zhu Youjian.

When they arrived in the west of Don Harik, it was already night, and the Naadam meeting was nearing its end. Under the shining of countless bonfires, Naadam began the last competition... a wrestling match.

There were a total of 16 people participating in the wrestling competition. Because they wanted to leave two places for the Han people, the Horchins selected 14 young warriors that they recognized.

Countless herdsmen surrounded the huge bonfire in the center. They pointed their fingers at each of you, while guessing at this year’s wrestling leader. There were also some young girls and boys who had met their eyes. They held hands and were in the distance. Beside the smaller bonfire, singing and dancing, and mutual complaints.

At this moment, all people are equal. Whether it is Belegge of the Great Khan Taiji or the children of ordinary herders, status is not important, what is important is ability, the force that Mongolians admire.

The group leader Huang Yongsheng selected the two people with the highest martial arts skills from the group, "Han people have no place in horse racing and archery. This time wrestling, in any case, can't shame the Han people."

"Yes, Tuanzuo!" The two replied in a low voice. They didn't know what they were doing. They didn't understand the Mongolian wrestling skills, and they didn't know if the Chinese martial arts they had on them could be used.

"Wait." Zhu Youzhen ran out of the figure, "Let me participate in this wrestling match!"

"You are..." Huang Yongsheng glanced at Zhu Youzhen, "cocked" in his heart.

Fu Xiaojian rushed over from the crowd. He grabbed Huang Yongsheng's arm, making him immobile, and then whispered, "Wang Xin, the staff member of the division! Didn't you recognize the head of Huang?"

Seeing Fu Xiaojian, Huang Yongsheng became more convinced of his judgment. He was stunned for a while. Fu Xiaojian squeezed his arm, and he woke up: "Yes, yes, Wang Xin."

On behalf of the Han people, in addition to Zhu Youjian, who had the pseudonym Wang Xin, there was also a company commander named Zhao Cheng.

Sixteen people began to draw lots and selected their opponents. Zhao Cheng was the second pick and Zhu Youjian was the fourth pick.

When Zhao Cheng played, he had already observed the battle at the No. 1 pick, and had a little understanding of the rules of wrestling. He used the advantage of the stability of the next game to barely defeat his opponent.

But the herdsmen around him cheered him because he didn't understand the rules and was not winning in wrestling.

Nor did the Horqin girl offer a Hada to Zhao Chengjin, and the defeated Horqin warrior received a white Hada from the two girls instead.

Zhu Youjian's opponent who wrestled had already smashed his upper body. He was not tall, but he was sturdy and round, like a bucket of human flesh.

Zhu Youjian also learned the other way. He took off his shirt, his upper body was naked, and he tied his belt as he watched from the corner of his opponent's eye.

"Puff!" the crowd exclaimed.

Zhu Youjian is taller and has a well-proportioned body. He may be the male god in the eyes of a girl, but in the wrestling arena, these two points are very disadvantageous. The higher the height, the more unstable the center of gravity. Compared with the opponent, it is simply weak, and the strength is obviously not enough.

If you measure it with a tape measure, Zhu Youjian's waist circumference is about half that of his opponent.

Zhu Youjian silently moved his magical skills and stood quietly in a sympathetic gaze.

As if the opponent was provocative, he hooked his index finger to Zhu Youqian and asked Zhu Youjian to let him go. Zhu Youjian didn't answer, he slowly stepped forward and hooked his arms with the other party.

With the referee's order, the opponent started the attack impatiently.

He yanked Zhu Youjian's arms abruptly, trying to throw Zhu Youjian behind him.

However, Zhu Youzhen remained motionless.

The Horchin warrior was shocked, his eyes clearly written with surprise, and he flashed past.

Zhu Youzhen wanted to hold on to the other party's arms, but the other party's round body seemed to be buttered and slippery like a loach. In addition, Zhu Youzhen was unable to exert his strength because of his composure.

However, Zhu Youjian's feet were very stable, and the opponent dragged several times without success.

Suddenly, the other party pretended to retreat and tempted Zhu Youjian to lean forward, but he slammed his shoulder and pushed Zhu Youjian's upper body back.

In the flickering bonfire, the opponent's left hand somehow climbed onto Zhu Youjian's right leg.

With a loud roar, he pulled his knee with his left hand and jerked his right shoulder forward.

This is a "shoulder bump" commonly used by wrestlers. The opponent's knee is tripped. If the upper body receives a violent impact, it must fall backward.

Zhu Youjian didn't look good, he straightened his right leg, let the opponent's left hand not be strong, and retreated two steps with his feet, only to resolve the opponent's "shoulder bump".

Na Horqin took advantage of Zhu Youjian's upper body leaning too forward, took a step forward with his right foot, turned his body, and got his shoulder under Zhu Youjian's right arm, wanting to make a one-arm over-the-top fall.

Zhu Youzhen's right elbow fell just in front of his chin. Zhu Youzhen deliberately came up with a "little devil head". As long as the elbow bends upwards, the opponent's cervical spine will be pulled and will fall to the ground.

But this is not a means of wrestling. If you win in this way, not only the opponent, but also the surrounding crowd, I am afraid it will be dissatisfied.

On the one hand, Zhu Youjian resorted to a "thousand catty fall" to be invincible first. On the other hand, he changed the "pull head" to "shoulder pressing", and his right forearm violently pulled the pressure belt to the side and back.

Na Khorqin's center of gravity was unstable, and with a "puff", his buttocks fell to the ground.

He couldn't react for a while, and Zhu Youjian kept pressing his shoulders until his shoulders all landed on the ground.

"Wow!"

The crowd cheered.

Zhu Youjian won!

Although he didn't use the beautiful "shoulder bump" or "overhead wrestling", he still wrestled, which was in full compliance with the rules of wrestling.

The audience only cares about victory, and the excitement comes next.

The referee played in time, held Zhu Youjian's right hand, pointed at Changshengtian, and declared Zhu Youjian's victory.

A young girl from Horqin shyly gave Zhu Youjian a white hada.

Zhu Youjian took Hada, but didn't know what to do, Bu Mubutai leaned over and put him on his neck.

Afterwards, Zhu Youjian defeated two more wrestlers and entered the final. He had already received four Hadas.

And Zhao Cheng, in the eight-to-four game, lost to his opponent early.

This year's Naadam Conference is so exciting. In the last wrestling competition, the two contestants who entered the finals turned out to be a Horqin and a Han. This has never happened before in Horqin's history.

From an emotional point of view, the surrounding crowd hoped that the Horqin people would win, except for the Ming army in that regiment.

Moreover, judging from the body of both sides, the warrior of Horqin is also much more durable than Zhu Youjian. He is about the same size as Zhu Youjian, but he is much stronger than Zhu Youjian because he is too thin and weak. In front of him, it seemed to be small.

Since the two sides hooked their arms, the other party has been testing Zhu Youzhen's strength. He moved forward and backward, all pushing Zhu Youzhen's arms hard.

But he found that Zhu Youzhen's bottom plate was very stable, which was very rare among wrestlers. Moreover, although Zhu Youzhen was thin, his strength was not under him, much greater than he thought.

Instead, he pulled Zhu Youjian to the left and right.

Zhu Youjian bought a flaw, and while he was pulling to the left, his left hand hooked his arm, and his right hand slammed, trying to knock him to the ground.

The opponent's stature was unstable, and Zhu Youjian's supernatural power was in him, and his strength was so strong that he overturned him at once.

But the opponent was obviously experienced. At the moment he was about to fall to the ground, he twisted his body, but he was lying on the ground.

According to the rules of wrestling competitions, only if the shoulders, backs, and hips touch the ground, they will lose.

Zhu Youjian rode on his back, trying to overturn him, but his body was too sleek, and his arms were hidden under him again, almost on the ground, and he couldn't do anything for a while.

The referee halted the game between the two sides and returned them to the stage of hooking their arms.

In future matches, perhaps the opponent found that Zhu Youzhen was extremely powerful. As long as Zhu Youzhen exerted a little effort, he would take the initiative to lie down, lying on the ground like an old hen, making Zhu Youzhen really helpless.

The Horchin audience, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, began to become dissatisfied with the boring game. They were "booing" around them, but the Horchin people still adopted the "squatting" tactic.

When he lay down for the fifth time, Zhu Youjian's magical skill was in his hand, and he twisted his elbow fiercely.

The man suffered pain, his body rotated half a circle in the air, his upper body lost control, his head was facing Zhu Youjian's direction, and his shoulders fell to the ground.

But he twisted his body desperately, his upper body was lying on his back, but his lower body was lying on his side, his buttocks did not touch the ground.

Zhu Youjian pressed his chest with his left hand and straddled him, his right knee slammed hard on the outside of his abdomen, and then pressed down on his lower abdomen.

Only then did his back and hips fall to the ground safely and steadily.

"vomit!"

The crowd cheered again, but it was not as enthusiastic as it was at the beginning, as if this was the result they had known for a long time, and the expected victory always lacked some unexpected surprises.

An elderly Taiji put Hada, a symbol of the head chief, around Zhu Youjian's neck.

In addition, Zhu Youjian also received the Hada of six girls. The last bold girl tied Hada directly to Zhu Youjian's neck, causing the crowd to laugh.

Zhu Youzhen didn't understand what it meant, he looked at Bu Mu Butai secretly.

Bu Mu Butai approached Zhu Youjian and whispered: "Your Majesty, will you take her back tonight?"

"Take it home?" Zhu Youjian was puzzled, but looking at Bu Mubutai's calm smile, he understood: "Does that mean that?"

Bu Mu Butai lightly tapped his head, and mist inadvertently covered his jet-black eyes.

"Go, go back!" Zhu Youjian took up Bumubutai's little hand, and regardless of everyone's surprised eyes, he forgot that Bumubutai was wearing men's clothing.
